FYI distributers. When sending raw tubes of glass in popcorn, be sure and cover up the ends so popcorn doesn't cram into the tube. I've spent two hours removing popcorn and tidbits of popcorn out of these 50mm tubes, and I'm not even half done. It's a serious pain in the ass, I even ordered a case but didn't get the case box. Just doing a bit of bitching.

I always ship mine packed in cupcakes. They are way more appetizing than popcorn...

yeah, but then you run the risk of catching syph toe.

..anyways, buy glass from me, I won't open your cases and pack them with peanuts. I have 59x9 in stock if you need something heavy.

Do you have a shop vac? If so, why not rig up a little job that you could attach from glass tube to hose, and then attach the hose to the outflow on your shop vac? Well, i suppose that could introduce dust into your glass. What about an air compressor? If you have one of those, just blow through it.

Just a thought.

Or take a smaller piece of tubing or solid rod and poke it out.

how the hell are you cleaning out your tube? can you shoot a video or something?? that sounds really funny to watch. Id love to see someone take a couple hours to clean out the inside of a tube

dude roll up a wade of dry paper towels into a ball, cram into tube and shove it through with 12 mil rod.

Yah, all those ideas are great, thanks. I guess I was mostly just looking to bitch. I swear every time I place an order, something has to be wrong with it. I just decided to leave the peanuts in there and start pulling points...does anyone know a good market for inside out pink peanut spoons?

Try India.

If we could sabotage their market by making them think there's more demand for something than there is, that would be great.

LOL, so who sent it? maybe we could get it fixed so in the future you won't have to waste a day cleaning tubes!
